Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of these platinum and palladium bearing species from Montana!!! This specimen hosts numerous significant
grains of silvery metallic cooperite and vysotskite in a matrix of pyroxene and quartz!!! There
are significant masses and grains of cooperite and vysotskite scattered throughout the specimen and visible on every side!!!
Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see that some of the grains consist of intergrown species that show slightly
varied silvery gray hues!!! Some of the metallic masses show a slightly golden tarnish, however they are silvery on fresh surfaces!!!
Simply a fantastic example of these valuable rare species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection
of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 24th!!!
